Mobile FliteDeck VFR Version 1.3 launched

Jeppesen has introduce new capabilities and European coverage areas for Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR.

The new software version includes expansion of European coverage to Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. New app capabilities include interactive airspace warnings, NOTAM pinning functionality and enhanced track vector features that further enhance the private pilot flying experience.

The new “airspace warnings” function increases situational awareness by providing advance warnings of potential in-flight airspace infringements. General airspace information, distance and time to infringement as well as frequencies are now included with Mobile FliteDeck VFR.

Interaction with NOTAMs is improved with the new version of Mobile FliteDeck VFR. Additional sub-sections for ‘temporary flight restriction’ notices (in USA), ‘warnings’ and ‘enroute airports’ have been added.

Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck VFR also now allows personalized display of distance configurations through a new ‘track vector’ feature (at 5, 15, 30 and 60 minute intervals), to view flight progression. The new track vector feature was developed as the result of input received from pilots flying in complex terrain or airspace structures, Jeppesen officials said.
